Pick of the day

The Book Show 8.30pm, BBC4 It's a New York special tonight, with Graydon Carter on the Bush administration in What We've Lost; Art Spiegelman with his brilliant graphic novel, In the Shadow of No Towers; and Siri Hustvedt's Greenwich Village-set novel What I Loved.

The L Word 10pm, LivingTV Dana's newfound freedom as the "gay Anna Kournikova" gets her into trouble with her Republican parents. There's only so long she can explain away the "Get Out. And Stay Out" Subaru slogan as being "outdoorsy". Plus, Bette gets hassled in group therapy, Snoop Dogg guests and Marina takes a friend to "Twat, the Night". It's a club. Richard Vine

Films

Johnny English (Peter Howitt, 2003) 10.15am, 8pm, Sky Movies 1 Rowan Atkinson, better known to children everywhere as Mr Bean, takes on a new but just as doltish identity in this 007 spoof. Aided by able assistant Ben Miller and the beautiful Natalie Imbruglia, he is pitted against John Malkovich, who has huge fun as megalomaniac Pascal Sauvage. Johnny's adventures are mainly a hoot, but wear a little thin by the time he gets covered in poo.

Brotherhood of the Wolf (Christophe Gans, 2001) 8pm, Sky Cinema 1 Set in pre-revolutionary France, this costume drama crossed with a werewolf horror movie and throwing in some serious martial arts action just for kicks is a wild beast indeed. Scientist Samuel Le Bihan and Iroquois blood brother (and chief ass-kicker) Mark Dacascos are sent by Louis XV to find out who's eating his people. It's a little ragged and overlong, but full of sharp-fanged action and visceral thrills.

The Money Pit (Richard Benjamin, 1986) 11.20pm, Sky Movies 2 Yuppie nightmare comedy that sent shivers through new homeowners everywhere. Tom Hanks and Shelley Long move from a New York apartment to a crumbling suburban mansion where nothing works: the disasters, and the bills, just keep coming. A prolonged exercise in schadenfreude.

From Dusk Till Dawn (Robert Rodriguez, 1995) 2am, FilmFour A trashy, back-from-the-pub, Quentin Tarantino-scripted special. George Clooney and Tarantino are murderous, bank-robbing brothers who kidnap the Rev Harvey Keitel and family and turn up at a gruesome Mexican brothel swarming with rancid biker-vampires out for their blood. The carnage that follows is The Wild Bunch meets The Evil Dead, a gorefest of staggering proportions. Enjoy. Paul Howlett

Sport

Live football 7.30pm, Sky Sports 2 Having been beaten by Man United on Sunday, Arsenal should be desperate not to continue this habit in the same city this evening, as they take on Manchester City in the Carling Cup. Arsène Wenger has never taken this competition particularly seriously; circumstances may force him to change tonight. Simon Burnton
